When I switched from the old Outlook to the new Outlook, I no longer have the ability to preview voicemails sent as wav files. Instead, I am prompted to save to OneDrive or download the file.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    I hope Microsoft is listening. Nobody at my organization is using the new Outlook, which has some really great enhancements, due to not being able to listen to voicemails through Outlook. That on problem alone is enough to stick with the older version.

    I changed it to Windows Media Player, but when I click on the .wav file in Outlook, it still wants to download it.
